'This query could identify critical user management operations like user registration(Microsoft Entra ID Multi-Factor Authentication & self-service password reset (SSPR)) authentication by admin account followed by attempts to stop System Restore activity. Stopping system restore prevents from recovering data by going back to a restore point. The operations could be an indication of attackers trying to maintain persistence, move laterally with attempts to stop system restore point that could point to a potential ransomware attack.'

This query identifies common processes run by ransomware
malware to destroy volume shadow copies or clean free
space on a drive to prevent a file from being recovered
post-encryption. To reduce false positives, results are
filtered to only actions taken when the initiating
process was launched from a suspicious directory. If
you don't mind false positives, consider removing the
last where clause.

'This query detects instances where an attacker has gained the ability to execute code on an ADFS Server through remote WMI Execution.
In order to use this query you need to be collecting Sysmon EventIDs 19, 20, and 21.
If you do not have Sysmon data in your workspace this query will raise an error stating:
Failed to resolve scalar expression named "[@Name]"
For more on how WMI was used in Solorigate see https://www.microsoft.com/security/blog/2021/01/20/deep-dive-into-the-solorigate-second-stage-activation-from-sunburst-to-teardrop-and-raindrop/.
The query contains some features from the following detections to look for potentially malicious ADFS activity. See them for more details.
- ADFS Key Export (Sysmon): https://github.com/Azure/Azure-Sentinel/blob/master/Detections/SecurityEvent/ADFSKeyExportSysmon.yaml
- ADFS DKM Master Key Export: https://github.com/Azure/Azure-Sentinel/blob/master/Detections/MultipleDataSources/ADFS-DKM-MasterKey-Export.yaml'
